Summerhouse in Monte Rio

The location is spot on and the area is beautiful. The house was clean and well furnished. There were a couple of things that needed fixing, but it was only an inconvenience,

Great escape

Very nice property, tucked away surrounded by redwoods and ferns. The hot tub was probably our favorite amenity.

2nd time stay - just love this place

If you are looking for a quiet wooded location this is your spot. We love that this house allows us to bring our dog. The kitchen and living room are very open which is perfect for cooking, visiting, playing games, curling up with a book or watching a movie. The trees that surround the house and neighborhood are magical. We love the hot tub (replaced this year - very nice!), the beds are comfortable and amenities meet our needs.

Great location, some quirks

I love the Villa Grande neighborhood and it was a joy to stay there. The house (and hot tub!) were very clean. Beds were comfy. The two issues were (1) the codes did not open the front door or garage, and we had to call Vacasa to get the lockbox code to get physical keys to get in. The door thing was loose and it was challenging to lock and unlock. (2) we had to do some laundry and while it was running, none of the sinks or showers would run any water. Otherwise it took over 5 minutes to get the water warm-hot and water pressure was generally low.

Sanctuary

Spacious & well appointed, nestled in a forest setting. We had lively events to attend and it was wonderful to return to Summerhouse and enjoy the tranquility. Sharing afternoon wine on the porch was a gift.

Villa Grande location

We have stayed here twice. We like the location and the comfort and amenities are more than adequate for our purposes. We have vacationed in the village of Villa Grande for over 50 years at a family cabin now owned by other family. This Summerhouse provides the room and location we need to visit friends and family and enjoy the surrounding area.

This home is well kept, great amenities. Beautiful location, super comfortable. The bed is amazing. The owners take great pride in this home and it shows. Can’t wait to return. Close to the Russian River.

Enjoyed our stay.

We actually spent most of our 10 days here away from the house, hiking, going out, and visiting friends. So we never used the hot tub or grill. Didn't get to use the beach, since the River was so high it practically wiped out the beach.

Fun private comfy house

Clean and comfortable home w plenty of towels and blankets. Two of us stayed for a couples getaway and loved all the rain. Hot tub in the rain was exactly the right experience. Redwoods are beautiful. Did not feel exposed to neighbors.

Nicely done

House is very nicely appointed, kitchen is well stocked with nice selection of spices. Gas fire stove not only creates ambiance, but quickly takes off morning chill. Roomy shower and very comfortable parking area are a plus I have not seen in other places I have stayed in this area

Perfect quiet get away

We spent 4 nights in this home. It was well stocked and clean. The bed and linens were comfortable. There are 2 bedrooms and bathrooms but we only used one. It has a nice upstairs porch and bbq as well as a lower area with hot tub. The property manager was friendly and gave us several good suggestions on places to explore and eat. We did a lot of driving and exploring the coasts and redwoods. We didn’t make it to the river which is walking distance and there are kayaks available in the large garage that we conveniently kept our car in.

Summerhouse Dream

Staying amongst the forest of redwoods was amazing! The neighborhood this home was a dream for a girls weekend away! This home is well equipped with a full kitchen two bath and two bedrooms with comfy beds. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck enjoying our wine, we cooked our first night in. We found ourselves just sitting around talking all night in the living room! In the mornings we walked the neighborhood to take in the redwood forest!! Would definitely recommend this home AND would stay again. The only downside was a guest before us had left the beach towels in the washer and they were never moved to the dryer so luckily we brought our own. Unfortunately we were not able to start the sheets and bathroom towels as required for leaving.

Great house, bad management

This house was great for a short trip with my family and toddler and the proximity to the beach was wonderful. We got to use the jacuzzi and kayaks and cook some nice meals in the well outfitted kitchen (they even had a cast iron pan!). The property itself is fine but we had a horrible experience with the management company, Vacasa. I requested an early check in in advance and there was no response or follow up. The washer and shower were broken and the only option to get help from Vacasa was chatting with a Bot. Nothing got fixed, there was no discount or proposed solution to address the issues. I would advise against staying at properties that are managed by Vacasa, we won’t be doing that again.

Could have been a great place

We liked a lot about this place, especially how close it is to a local swimming hole on the river. The unit was small, but well-equipped. However we had a major issue with the rental and have yet to hear back from the property manager. The bed in the master bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. It felt like you were sinking into the middle, like a hammock. I couldn’t sleep in it and ended up making my kid sleep in it! The morning we left, we looked underneath the bed and found that it was broken!! It was missing several supports in the middle of the bed. We wrote to the company to complain and only heard back from their corporate customer service team that they would forward to local management. On top of that there were a bunch of smaller issues that didn’t make for a great stay. The hot tub had a funky smell that indicated poor maintenance and so we never used it, the drawer in the bedside table was broken — it just fell out when you opened it, and several of the shade curtain strings didn’t work. We were also hoping to have a peaceful morning on the front deck, but couldn’t because there was loud construction one day and incessant dog barking across the street the next morning. Unfortunately I would NOT recommend this place or any place managed by Vacasa. We have had issues in the past with rentals managed by them.

Great off season stay

The place was clean and well supplied. The garage door was tricky to close and the bbq was not functional, but vacasa was very responsive and helpful. Great spot to get away for a long weekend and just relax immersed in nature.

Just like the pics!

This listing did not disappoint. My mom and I stayed here while visiting family for thanksgiving. We were able to make food easily with the dishes and utensils provided we actually had more than enough! The home was exactly as pictured, tidy, safe and comfortable. You are also very close to the quaint town of Occidental that had great food and even better shopping!
